Rockford Symphony donations down, but budget balanced
July 27th, 2009 at 08:01am Georgette Braun
The Rockford Symphony Orchestra collected $108,000 less in donations, including funding from the Rockford Area Arts Council, Black Magic Ball revenue and gifts from individuals and corporations in its 2008-2009 season, according to a news release. That represented a 19 percent decrease in contributions. Its fiscal year ended June 30.
But through efforts such as a staff reduction, salary freezes and other administrative cost reductions, a 3 percent increase in paid attendance and a grant, the Symphony ended with a balanced budget. The RSO’s annual budget is $1.4 million.
The Symphony ended the season with 2,308 subscribers, up from 2,206 the previous season.
